CHECKING THE LEVELS

Oil level

Brake fluid level:

Used oil

The brake luid must be changed ac-

cording to the manufacturer's servic-

ing schedule.

Use luids recommended by the

manufacturer, which fulil DOT4

standards.

Note: brake luid is harmful to health

and very corrosive. Avoid all contact

with the skin.

Do not dispose of used oil, brake luid

or coolant into drains or onto the

ground.

F Check the level regularly and

top up between changes. The

maximum consumption is 0.5 l

per 600 miles (1 000 km).

Check the level with the vehicle level,

engine cold, using the oil level gauge

on the instrument panel or the dip-

stick.

Power steering reservoir

F Open the reservoir, with the

engine at ambient temperature.

The level should always be

above the MIN. mark and close

to the MAX. mark.

Dipstick

Cooling system

There are two marks on

the dipstick:

A = maximum

Never ill past this mark.

B = minimum

To maintain the reliability

of engines and emission

control systems, the use

of additives in engine oil

is prohibited.

Use the luid recommended by the

manufacturer.

When the engine is warm, the tem-

perature of the coolant is controlled

by the engine fan.As this fan can ope-

rate with the ignition key removed

and because the cooling system is

pressurised, wait for at least one hour

after the engine has stopped before

carrying out any work.

Windscreen and headlamp

wash level

For best quality cleaning and for your

safety, we would advise that you use

products recommended by PEUGEOT.

For optimum cleaning and to prevent

freezing, this luid must not be topped

up or replaced with water.

Slacken the cap by two turns to re-

lease the pressure to prevent any

risk of scalding. When the pressure

has dropped, remove the cap and

top up the level.

Note: the coolant does not need to

be changed.

For vehicles equipped with a

particle ilter, the engine fan may

operate after the ignition has been

switched off, even when the en-

gine is cold.

Oil change

According to the information given in

the servicing booklet.

Note: avoid used oil coming into pro-

longed contact with the skin. Empty

the used oil into the containers intend-

ed for this purpose in the PEUGEOT

network.

Viscosity selection

In all cases, the oil selected must

meet the manufacturer's require-

ments.

RUNNING OUT OF FUEL

(DIESEL)

Change the ilter regularly, in accor-

dance with the servicing schedule.

If you should run out of fuel, it is neces-

sary to re-prime the circuit:

tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

tain components, in accordance

with the manufacturer's servicing

schedule, refer to the pages of

the servicing booklet which corre-

spond to your vehicle's engine.

Have the ilter elements replaced reg-

ularly. If you drive in dusty condi-

tions, change them twice as often.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style

of driving, in particular for vehicles

which are used in town, over short

distances.

It may be necessary to check the

thickness of the pads, even between

services.

Only use products recom-

mended by PEUGEOT

or products of equivalent

quality and speciications.

To ensure best perfor-

mance from components as im-

portant as the power steering and

the braking system, PEUGEOT

selects and offers quite speciic

products.

Disc wear status

For any information relating to check-

ing the disc wear status, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer.

Handbrake

Where the handbrake travel is too

great or there is a reduction in the

performance of the system, the

handbrake should be adjusted, even

between services.

Have the system checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer.

To prevent damage to the electri-

cal units, avoid washing the en-

gine.
